I was listening to one of his podcasts recently. He took about half an hour to say what should have taken 1 minute on BBC compliance. Very boring. I think he's becoming so luvviefied he can barely function any more.

Fry's approval service has been in beta for years. Last year I created an account called "Jacqui_Smith" and asked Fry if it was alright if I spent £100k of taxpayers money on myself, in my official capacity as Queen Harridan and Minister for Crushing Little People. He said "Go ahead. It's not important, it really isn't."

He also approved of my mate Mandy's trip to Thailand, even though even I thought it sounded a bit dodgy. And he gave two thumbs up to my husband's coke and wanking addiction, so I'm fine with that too now.

So true, he may the current stately homo of the UK and yes he can be terrifically funny (except for that load of old tosh 'Kingdom' which I'm sure was only created to get Tony Slattery back earning some money) but he really shouldn't be taken seriously on such things. I mean, he's a manic depressive former convict and fraudster.

Who on earth "follow" people on Twitter? I mean, how fucking devoid of purpose does your life need to get before you decide that you require the hourly think-bubbles of someone you've never met piped to your bloody iPhone?

When cretins like that get on their collective high horse, you'd better take cover.

To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality.
